The nuts is what makes this so special! Adds a perfect flavour. I toasted the nuts while I prepped everything else, then just threw them into the mix and back in the oven. I was making this just for my husband and I so I did not go heavy on the garlic or taco seasoning and it turned out perfect but on the mild side. If you want a dip with umph, load it all in there! I would recommend unflavoured crackers or corn chips so they don't take away from the dip. What a treat! We were purring, Kitten:)
